A huge black shaggy dog silently padded across the lawn of Hogwarts. He sniffed the air. All seemed clear. He proceeded when all of a sudden a huge beast came out of the darkness. It was six feet tall and looked like a weird crocodile. He jumped out of its way. It was surprisingly agile for its size and tuned quickly. He caught the dog with one paw and was about to sink its enormous teeth into the tender flesh in this neck when a midnight black wolf leapt out of the darkness. It hit the monster head on and sent the three animal sprawling. The two smaller creatures dashed away as fast as possible, but not fast enough. The creature was on its feet in a split second. It tore after the retreating animals. They dove into a large tree. The branches flailed wildly by themselves and the beast let out a howl of pain, stepping back. The dog and wolf crouched there for a good half an hour until the bear got tired and walked off. They timidly crept out from the protective branches then made a mad dash for a small door. It opened effortlessly. They dove in and lay panting on the stone floor. But what was lying there in such exhaustion was not a wolf and dog anymore, it was two men. One was tall, with black hair, disheveled from the torturous romp. The other had a five o'clock shadow that seemed permanent. He looked weary to the bone but stood up purposefully.
"Come on Padfoot, old friend, they need us" The black haired man nodded and grunted. He pulled himself to his feet.
"To Harry and Hermione first then to Dumbledore, Moony" The shorter man nodded and they walked into the pitch darkness of the castle. They needed no light and spoke very little during this journey. They knew by instinct where to go. Soon they emerged into the darkened corridor. Now there were the two animals padding across the halls, sniffing their way. They made their way to the Gryffindor dormitory. Crawling on their bellies, thy gently tugged on the bedcovers of two of the sleeping figures. Ron nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw a wolf chewing on what looked to him like his hand.
"Shhh!" Harry breathed. Soon his godfather was there and Harry threw his arms around him like a six year old.
"Sirius!" He whispered joyfully.
"Where's Hermione?" Lupin whispered cautiously.
"Hospital wing" Ron whispered back. Soon the foursome was making their way again through the darkened hallways. They came upon a bright light and someone yelled "A HA!" triumphantly. Her face fell as she saw who it was. Professor McGonagall looked miffed to find Harry and Ron out of bed. Her expression changed to one of shock when she saw Sirius and Remus. It vanished quickly and she looked in control again.
"Right. You want to see Dumbledore, I presume?" she asked.
"Yes, but we'd like to see Hermione first," Sirius said, "if that's okay." He added when he saw the look McGonagall gave him.
"Oh all right. I'll go get the Headmaster and we'll meet you at the Hospital Wing"
"Right" Remus said and was off again. They were there in no time and Hermione was surprised (to say the least) when she saw her visitors. She looked around.
"Where's Draco?" It was a simple question that raised the men's eyebrows.
"As in Malfoy?" Sirius asked. Hermione nodded, "Why would you want him here?" he asked a second question.
"He's the one that found me" she said frankly, "and has been nothing but supportive since"
"If it's all the same, I'd like to keep the devil spawn ignorant about my whereabouts." He said a little too harshly. Tears began to well up in Hermione's eyes. She wiped them away impatiently.
"He found me and helped Harry and Ron beat up Marcus Flint. I understand why you wouldn't want him to know you're here, but please don't be a jerk" These words surprised even her. Sirius was a good man and she shouldn't be rude, but she couldn't help herself. The words had just popped out.
"Fair enough" he agreed
"Tell us what you know" Remus said gently, "and about the attack. I know you don't want to have to relive it again, but it's important. You know that I wouldn't ask you to unless it was." Hermione knew he spoke the truth. She swallowed and recounted the worst memory in her life. Sirius and Remus got boiling mad, and Hermione was surprised to see Professor Lupin so worked up. Normally he was a very even and mellow man, but he radiated anger. Ron and Harry explained about the rest.
"And Professor Dumbledore said that Viktor Krum was really a pygmy" Ron finished. Sirius let out a string of curses that made everyone turn to look at him, slightly shocked.
"The only was to make more pygmies is to mate with a human, muggle or magical. You can transform at will from one species to the other once you have been infected." Sirius explained.
"So you mean if I'm pregnant I'm going to have a pygmy?" she asked.
"No," Remus said gently, "You'll turn into one."
